Spoilers: After last issue's big battle, Mystiq and Betsy mourn Cat's death, Gambit helps rebuilding the town and Rogue spends more time with Colyn. This world's President and Nerimani both agree that Lilandra will remain in exile on earth while Nerimani will assume the Shi'ar throne. Morph decides to stay with Nerimani, to make sure he leaves things in this world better than when they came. Rogue decides to stay too for she has found true love with Colyn. Mystiq, Sabretooth, Gambit and Psylocke leave and return to the Crystal Palace where they meet Sage. Tessa explains that she has merged the essence of her being with that of the palace and that whenever someone tries to communicate with the palace, they'll be talking to her. Betsy gets mad at Sage and run away. Tessa says she did what she had to do because the palace had lost its soul and because of that, whole dimensions were ending and the omniverse was dying. The palace wanted Cat at first, but Sage thought she was too young and couldn't handle it. Psylocke and Sage have a heart-to-heart and Betsy asks her what if this has no going back to what Sage responds that she simply doesn't care: she says she has a sense of everything and might as well make existence a better place. Meanwhile Gambit is swimming on the Crystal Palace's ocean where he finds Valeria Richards (from New Exiles Annual). Valeria simply says she was able to find the palace because she is smart. Sage gathers the team and send them on another mission while Morph returns to the Crystal Palace saying he couldn't leave his teammates. Another day, another mission. Something has happened on Gambit's earth: The Black Panther's people killed Gambit's father (Namor) so he decided to stay on his homeworld with his family as the new king. The Exiles and their allies finally defeat Black Panther and free Gambit's world. A couple of days later... the team spends some downtime together on the beach and Psylocke and Sabretooth make out (yes, they did it!). At night the team (Sabretooth, Psylocke, Mystiq, Valeria, Morph and Sage) look at the stars. They say they'll start again and look after everyone and every place. End!
Next: X-Men - Sword of the Braddocks!
In the lack of Psylocke's news, here's some minor updates concerning her and the X-Men:
- Uncanny X-Men Resurection: Matt Fraction's comments about an "old favorite" resurrection were misunderstood. He says the resurrection comes during the Sisterhood arc (Uncanny X-Men #508-511). Remember that he said the upcoming arc with Greg Land will have a "resurrection," "an old favorite" - a resurrection of some sort. So far the the only character confirmed to return in Sisterhood is Psylocke and everybody knows she's not dead. Remember Spiral was involved in Bett's body swap and Spiral is part of the Sisterhood... It makes you think. We'll have to wait and see on this one.
- Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: There's a possibility that Psylocke may be featured on the upcoming Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 game. Kalina, one of the games producer, has said that she got her favorite Marvel character to be in the game. She says we'll find out who this character is at or before San Diego Comic Con. Well, in the past Kalina has stated that Psylocke was her favorite character along Gambit and Spiderman. We'll have to wait on this one too.
- Terry Dodson on Psylocke: Uncanny X-Men artist Terry Dodson says he won't be designing a new costume for Betsy and that we'll have to wait and see if she'll return as an Asian or as a British. And of course, that she'll kick major ass!
While there was no real information on what will happen to X-Men Legacy after the current arc ends, there was certainly some teasing about upcoming Uncanny X-Men arcs:
Uncanny X-Men #504-507: Fraction's talking up UNCANNY, current story, Lovelorn, deals with Colossus.
Uncanny X-Men #508-511: Next arc is Sisterhood, about the Sisterhood of Evil Mutants and what they're up to with art by Greg Land.
And in the next arc is a ressurrection, an "old favorite," tease Fraction and Lowe. "Because we don't have enough characters in Uncanny," jokes Fraction.
Fraction can't discuss too many plans for Uncanny X-Men because they're top secret. Upcoming arc with Greg Land features a resurrection of some sort. An old favorite. "We don't have enough characters in the book. We need seven to eighteen more..." says Fraction.
Unncanny X-Men #512: Right after the close of Sisterhood, the X-Club (Beast's science team) have a stand-alone biggie-sized one-off crazy adventure.
Uncanny X-Men #513-onwards: Bad stuff.
"Things are about to get very difficult for Scott Summers," Fraction said of the appearance of a new redhead in the Marvel Universe, the child Hope as seen in Cable.
How big of a year will Cyclops have? Alonso: They're on a big journey and he's making a lot of big decisions. As Matt quipped earlier, it's going to be a complicated year for Cyclops That mutant girl has green eyes and red hair. Draw your own conclusions. Messiah Complex was the first chapter of a trilogy of events, with Messiah War being the second.
